An atypical case of atypical pneumonia. [PDF]

J Gen Fam Med, 2018
AbstractAtypical pneumonia has been thought to account for 7%‐20% of community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP). The treatment for the pathogens that cause atypical pneumonia is different from that of other bacterial pneumonia. Therefore, identification of the causative pathogen in a primary care situation is crucial for adequate treatment of CAP.
